About our bath repair in Croesymwyalch
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Croesymwyalch as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath repair in Croesymwyalch?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items

What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
